Infinite New Energy Batteries

Can new battery technologies reshape energy systems?

We explore cutting-edge new battery technologies that hold the potential to reshape energy systems, drive sustainability, and support the green transition.

Could a new aluminum-ion battery save energy?

US scientists claim to duplicate AI model for peanuts This new aluminum-ion battery could be a long-lasting, affordable, and safe way to store energy. American Chemical Society Researchers have developed a new aluminum-ion battery that could address critical challenges in renewable energy storage.

Could a new Al-ion battery reduce the production cost?

The new battery could reduce the production cost of Al-ion batteries and extend their life, thus increasing their practicality. “This new Al-ion battery design shows the potential for a long-lasting, cost-effective and high-safety energy storage system.

Could a quantum battery never lose its charge?

In 2019, a team of Canadian-based researchers laid out a blueprint for a quantum battery that never loses its charge. Their idea, which is still totally theoretical, hinges on a different quantum mechanism: one that involves luring quantum components into a 'dark state' where the material can't interact with, or lose energy to, its environment.

Could a quantum 'battery' be possible in the future?

While this quantum 'battery' is more like a network of lasers on a lab bench, and years away from any practical applications, it's still a cool demonstration of the underlying principles and what could be possible sometime in the future – if it hasn't already happened in the past. The study has been published in Physical Review Letters.

Are battery-based energy storage systems the key to a green energy transition?

Photo courtesy Malapit Lab The batteries used in our phones, devices and even cars rely on metals like lithium and cobalt, sourced through intensive and invasive mining. As more products begin to depend on battery-based energy storage systems, shifting away from metal-based solutions will be critical to facilitating the green energy transition.
